AN: This chapter is short,because of the lack of reviews. I need them to know where to take my story. So it would be great if you could review. Thank you all for read,and the new character "Sarah" will be portraited by .

I woke up the next morning to the sound of my phone vibrating. It wasn't my alarm though,I had a text message. It was from Claire I guessed.

U goin to the counseling thing at school today? I thought it was wrong for me to go to counseling I didn't need,so I replied

No,sry.

U going?

I don't think it would be much help. Wanna hang out?

U come over to my place at noon?

Yeah,just send me the address.

I sent her it,and she replied with a

thx,see u soon.

I took a shower,did my hair,and changed into a white t-shirt,and jeans. Then the door rang. I wondered if Claire was already here. I answered the door,and to my surprise it was my sister. "Hey little bro." She said as I let her into the house. "Hey...What's up?"I asked,confused why she was here. "Oh,I just wanted to check in on my favorite brother." I stared at her with daggers on my eyes. "What do you want?" I asked in a serious tone. I knew the only reason she came over was to get something. "Well...I'm kind of in the need for some...money." "Of course you are. What happened this time?" "Chad ran off with the rent money,and I know you've been getting money from mom.... "Wait. Isn't this the second time he's done this?" "Don't worry. He's out of the picture forever! So I just need this month's rent" We sat down on the couch in the living room."Fine,I'll give you the cash,but only this time. How much do you need?" I picked up my wallet off the living room table,when my sister noticed my hand. "What the hell happened to your hand Drew?" "There was sort of a shooting at school yesterday." "What!"

I explained yesterday's event to her. There was a small pause when I finished

"Maybe you can keep your money,and....and I could move in with you." "I don't know if that's such a good idea. Living here would actually mean restrictions." I said in a cold tone. "I know I've been a little..... loose but-" "A little loose? That's the biggest understatement of 2010." "Well... I'm willing to change if you let me move in. You obviously need someone here." "I need an adult here! Not some wild College drop out,Sarah!" "Please." Her tone turned from serious to desperate. "I don't like living alone,and I sure as hell don't want to go back to chasing my god awful ex. I need a home,and family. I bet you could use some company to." I didn't really want to say yes,but she was family,and I had no choice. "Fine,but you have to get a job,and doors locked at 12." I said rolling my eyes "Of course,of course." She jumped up and down,and took me into a hug. Then my kitten came in the room with a loud meow. Me and my sister turned to the yawning cat. Then I turned back to face Sarah "And no more psycho boyfriends." I said in a firm,but caring tone.
